摘要：

Gastrointestinal nematodes are an important cause of reduced production of meat, milk and wool in domestic livestock. It is generally believed that problems caused by these parasites have increased owing to the intensification of animal husbandry1-3. Because of the development of resistance to anthelmintics, current research is focussed on alternative control strategies that do not rely on anthelmintics. Here, Bram Kloosterman, Henk Parmentier and Harm Ploeger review work on the genetic resistance of domestic ruminants to these nematodes and discuss the practicality of breeding programmes.
